My thoughts:

For anyone who loves movies and Legos, than you will want to add this book to you home library collection.

My seven year old son loves Legos, and I love movies.  So we both enjoyed going through this book.  I loved how Warren Elsmore put write ups about the films and my son loved looking the colorful pages of all the Legos.  On some pages there were pictures from the movies and also Legos that resembled the movie scene.  Two of  my favorite Lego movie scenes were from Pulp Fiction and Saturday Night Fever.  The Lego figures really did resemble John Travolta. The book is full of colorful of pages of Movie scenes and Lego scenes.

On some of the pages in this book, Warren Elsmore gives a picture of the Lego pieces needed and how to make them look the scene from that movie on the page.  My son had a lot of fun going through his collection of Legos, finding the correct pieces he needed and made the scene from the page.  One of his favorites was making the Neuralyzer from Men in Black. 

This book is a great book for us movie buffs, and also great book for children as they need to concentrate and follow directions to create the scenes from the movies with their Legos.
